Facts
The assessee applied for registration under section 12A. The Ld. CIT(E) issued notices for information/clarification, but the assessee allegedly failed to comply, leading to the rejection of the application and cancellation of provisional registration under section 12AB. The assessee contended that an adjournment was sought, and details were furnished, a claim contradicted by the CIT(E)'s order.
Held
The Tribunal observed the conflicting claims regarding the submission of details. To ensure natural justice and give the assessee a fair chance, the Tribunal restored the matter to the CIT(E) for a fresh decision, directing the assessee to submit all requisite details without further adjournment.
Key Issues
Whether the Ld. CIT(E) was justified in rejecting the application for registration under section 12A and cancelling the provisional registration under section 12AB due to alleged non-compliance and non-furnishing of details by the assessee.
